Limited Youth Perry Riley Jersey Offensive guards are typically not high-profile players, so you may have never heard of Larry Warford. The Saints signed the former Lions guard as a free agent this offseason, because Warford has the two qualities Sean Payton covets in interior linemen: ass and mass.

Excellent rhyming aside, the Saints will certainly hope that Warford’s ass and mass will equal kicking ass. New Orleans signed Warford to a four-year, $34 million contract with $17 million guaranteed.

It must work differently for quarterbacks. Jay Cutler clearly has the ass part under control, but remains on the market.Womens Chris Capuano Jersey
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Derek Carr, Quarterback, Fresno State: The Buccaneers may play themselves out of a high enough draft position to acquire a top-end quarterback prospect. If Tampa ends up doing so, Mike Glennon has probably performed well enough to get one more season as the Buccaneers quarterback. As it stands in this mock draft, Tampa is sitting at No. 5, and Derek Carr is on the board. Considering the strides Carr has made from his junior to his senior season, his physical tools should excite teams picking in the top 10. Depending on the new coaching staff, a certain firecracker quarterback from Texas A&M could be in play here as well.

Atlanta Falcons – Jadeveon Clowney, Defensive End, South Carolina: Not many people expected the Atlanta Falcons to be this low in the standings in November, but here they are. The silver lining to Atlanta’s disastrous 2017 season is the chance to land South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. The Falcons’ struggles have come from poor play on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Clowney, despite all the criticism he’s taken this season, is still the top prospect in this class and would provide an instant jolt to a dormant Falcons pass rush.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has a back injury but practiced on Thursday and is expected to play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Bryant has missed just one game since the start of the 2011 season. Fellow Cowboys receiver Miles Austin (hamstring) missed another practice and his status is uncertain for Sunday. Cornerback Morris Claiborne (hamstring) missed practice as well.

The Eagles got good news on Thursday with wide receiver Riley Cooper returning to practice after missing Wednesday with an illness, and he’s expected to play against the Packers on Sunday. All the better for quarterback Nick Foles if he wants to throw another seven touchdowns.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is still trying to recover from a nagging hamstring injury, and it will likely keep him out of action for another week, as he is officially listed as doubtful for the team’s Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers. One week removed from Nick Foles tossing seven touchdown passes against the Oakland Raiders, Vick’s chances at starting for the Eagles were slim anyway, and it’s possible that he spends the season on the sideline, injured or not.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder left the team’s Thursday night victory over the Washington Redskins early with a non-throwing shoulder injury that was revealed to be a dislocation on Friday. Despite the injury, Ponder believes he’ll be able to play in the team’s Week 11 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Leslie Frazier was noncommittal about the possibility of Ponder returning so soon, but said that it was a possibility if the third-year quarterback could return to practice by Thursday. If not, the team will likely turn to Matt Cassel rather than Josh Freeman.

If recently acquired Brock Osweiler gets a shot to quarterback the Browns, he won’t be competing against Robert Griffin III.

Also, he apparently has the capability to shoot the puck at the jumbotron and break it, as Arvidsson caused a slight delay during the first period between the Predators and the Flames.

If you’ve never picked one up, hockey pucks have got some real weight to them. The fact that Arvidsson was able to elevate the puck high enough to hit the jumbotron is quite incredible — and break it no less.Mens Captain Munnerlyn Jersey
The executives are confident there will be a fifth WBC, most likely in 2021 after baseball makes its return to the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020.

I think when you have a tournament that gets the kind of traction that the 2017 edition did, it will make it easier to get players the next time around, Manfred said. Not only for the U.S., but for all the countries.

The raucous crowds of costumed American fans and singing Puerto Rican supporters in Los Angeles for the final belied the WBC’s biggest problem, one that hasn’t been completely solved.

While the WBC sells out stadiums, garners strong television ratings and sparks baseball curiosity from Tokyo to Tel Aviv, the event still is struggling to win over the U.S., which has hosted all four finals.

Two other safety-related rule proposals will be discussed next week: a Philadelphia Eagles proposal to reduce preseason and regular-season overtime from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, and a prohibition of leaping over the line of scrimmage to block an extra point or field goal.

Texas A&M is Robert Williams will reportedly bypass the NBA draft to turn return to school for his sophomore season, according to multiple reports. Williams was considered a potential top-10 draft pick. SB Nation had him at No. 13 overall in our mock draft this week.

Williams’ decision to return to school is reminiscent of Ivan Rabb is choice to go back to Cal last year. Rabb did not have the breakout sophomore season he was expecting but should still be a first-round pick in June is draft if he decides to declare.Elite Youth Marquess Wilson Jersey
Williams averaged 11.9 points per game this season. Texas A&M finished 16-15 overall, and will hope to parlay Williams’ decision into a big season next year.

The Cleveland Browns are at the top of the draft order following their 1-15 season, but they also have the No. 12 selection thanks to a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016. While there is still plenty of time for players to climb up or slide down boards, Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is currently the heavy favorite to be Cleveland is No. 1 pick.

Vilardi has all the tools to become a No. 1 center someday: size (6’3), skill (scouts love his effortlessness while making plays), and finishing ability (about to eclipse 30 goals with Windsor this year). By drafting Olli Juolevi and trading for Jonathan Dahlen, the Canucks have added high-end talent on the wings and blue line in the last year.

Four years, $32.5 million for Britt, who posted his first 1,000-yard season at age 29. The good news for the Browns is that he did that with Case Keenum and Jared Goff throwing him the ball, so he should get better QB play even with the Browns’ relatively low standards in that department.

What makes this deal a bad one is that it likely means the Browns are moving on from Terrelle Pryor. They reportedly balked at a rate starting at $10 million per season, but they also spurned one of the few players who expressed a desire to play in Cleveland, not to mention a 27-year-old talented receiver who posted his own first 1,000-yard season with the Browns rotating cast of signal callers.

It’s a three-year, $15 million deal, which could end up being one of the biggest steals in free agency this year. It gives Carson Wentz a veteran speedster at a fraction of the cost it would’ve taken to land DeSean Jackson.

The NCAA, which moved the games to South Carolina from North Carolina because of the discriminatory, anti-LGBT law dubbed House Bill 2 — “HB2” for short — released a statement about the matter. Dan Gavitt, the body’s senior vice president of basketball, said that the league is committed to assuring that their events are safe and accessible to everyone.

“No symbols that compromise that commitment will be permitted to be displayed on venue property that the tournament controls,” Gavitt said. “Freedom of speech activities on public property in areas surrounding the arena are managed by the city of Greenville and we are supportive of the city’s efforts.”

The Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels are set to play games at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena where flags were flown on Sunday. The group at the parking structure waving the flag did so from the back of a pickup truck. The group told the Associated Press that their goal was to make their presence known to the NCAA.

Elite Andrew Sendejo Jersey Michigan had a 41-40 lead at halftime, and the second half was a furious race to the finish. Oklahoma State got a six-point lead with about 16 minutes left, but Michigan was the better team from that point forward. The Wolverines were ahead by six themselves by the nine-minute remaining mark, and they stayed up from there.

Elite Brandon Marshall Jersey The game lacked last-second drama, but it packed enough into about 35 minutes that it didn¡¯t need it to be entertaining. In total, it had 16 lead changes. Oklahoma State was ahead for more than 17 minutes of clock time. The Pokes needed to be ahead for a few more. They weren¡¯t, and Michigan¡¯s the team moving on.

Oklahoma State shot 55 percent from the field, Michigan 52 percent. The Wolverines¡¯ totaled 16 three-point makes to OSU¡¯s seven. That was the difference.

We knew this would be a fun game, and the Pokes and Wolverines delivered.

They both entered in the top five in adjusted offensive efficiency, with good shooters and great athletes all over the floor. Both defenses aren¡¯t great, but that just encouraged more offense, and offense tends to be fun.

Princeton could have beaten Notre Dame ¡ª and perhaps Vanderbilt could have beaten Northwestern, too ¡ª if it had abided by an even more profound saying than ¡°shoot your shot,¡± one that has existed as long as man has been on Earth and partaken in recklessness. It is a saying that sober people with drunk friends know all too well: ¡°Chill out.¡±

Lynch has never really been comfortable anywhere else. He was drafted by the Bills, and Buffalo is most certainly not New York City. He found a locker room in Seattle where he could be himself, but he sparred with the media and became more reserved publicly over time. When he¡¯d go home to Oakland, running camps in the community, there was something different about Lynch.

Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins signed his franchise tag on Friday morning, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The team placed the exclusive franchise tag on Cousins back on Feb. 28. It’s the second consecutive season the team has placed the tag on Cousins, meaning he will earn nearly $24 million in 2017.

It also virtually guarantees that Cousins will be playing for Washington this upcoming season, despite his earlier desire to go elsewhere:

Kirk Cousins appealed personally to owner Dan Snyder for a trade but was basically told not to get his hopes up, per sources.

A few notes about our top 100 list.

This list, as with any kind of rankings, is subjective. The SB Nation NFL staff worked together to create it. We put a great deal of thought into it, but you will inevitably disagree with it. That’s fine. Save your tweets. We know. This is merely a guide to help the world keep track of which free agents are signing where.

The final salary cap for 2017 has now been set at $167 million. That’s a jump of nearly $12 million over last year’s $155.7 million cap. That’s consistent with the annual bumps we’ve seen since the 2011 collective bargaining agreement went into effect.

We’ll keep this list updated with players who get cut as well as for who’s signing where and for how much. So keep checking back.

OK, enough of the blah blah blah. Let’s get to that list!

One fan says that he was struck by Thiago Motta. His agent denied that report and said that Motta reached out to the fan to get the story straight and make sure he wouldn’t press charges.
